Dysguesia may be caused by a number of different factors. Tooth infections and decay are caused by bacteria that exude malodorous and sulfuric by-products, all affecting taste.

A tooth infection with bacteria and pus as well as pain will cause the taste buds to loose their sensitivity. Your mind is on your problem not the taste of food. Get tooth and problem taken care of now.

By poisoning you. Tooth infection is virulent bacterial infection spreading locally throughout oral cavity and generally via your blood stream. Important that you have infection treated immediately. Please see your General Dentist or a specialist Endodontist.
